TRANSLATION
Lord Brahma presented King Prithu with a protective garment made of spiritual knowledge. Bharati [Sarasvati], the wife of Brahma, gave him a transcendental necklace. Lord Vishnu presented him with a Sudarsana disc, and Lord Vishnu's wife, the goddess of fortune, gave him imperishable opulences.
PURPORT
All the demigods presented various gifts to King Prithu. Hari, an incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead known as Upendra in the heavenly planet, presented the King with a Sudarsana disc. It should be understood that this Sudarsana disc is not exactly the same type of Sudarsana disc used by the Personality of Godhead, Krishna, or Vishnu. Since Maharaja Prithu was a partial representation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead's power, the Sudarsana disc given to him represented the partial power of the original Sudarsana disc.
